Che i Kasabian siano grandi estimatori delle cover di canzoni altrui lo avevamo visto ampiamente in passato, con il culmine nella divertente reintepretazione di Sesame Street in mashup con Good Vibrations dei Beach Boys realizzata per una radio australiana.

I lupi Kasabian guidati da Tom Meighan e Serge Pizzorno non si sono smentiti nemmeno in qualità di headliner del festival scozzese T In The Park, uno dei più celebri delle estati europee: l’occasione li ha resi più punk del solito, visto che hanno scelto di omaggiare Iggy Pop con una breve versione (poco più di due minuti) della celeberrima Lust For Life, scritta da Iggy assieme a David Bowie e contenuta nel secondo disco omonimo Lust For Life del 1977. Il brano è stato poi riportato al successo grazie alla colonna sonora del film Trainspotting.

Nella versione dei Kasabian, leggermente rallentata e con solo la prima strofa eseguita, è impossibile non notare la sfacciataggine di Tom Meighan nell’intonarla. Un modo di cantare che piacerebbe anche a Iggy Pop, malgrado l’arrangiamento sia stato davvero troppo lento per caricare del tutto la folla. Insomma, ci hanno abituati ad atmosfere ben più energiche!

Kasabian, cover Lust For Life di Iggy Pop: testo

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He’s gonna do another striptease
Hey man where’d you get that lotion?
I been hurting
Since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah something called love
That’s like hypnotizing chickens
Well I am just a modern guy
Of course I’ve had it in the ear before
‘Cause of a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life

I’m worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a G.T.O.
Wear a uniform
All on a government loan
I’m worth a million in prizes
Yeah I’m through with sleeping on the
Sidewalk – no more beating my brains
With the liquor and drugs
With the liquor and drugs
Well I am just a modern guy
Of course I’ve had it in the ear before
‘Cause of a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life
Oh a lust for life
Oh a lust for life
A lust for life
I got a lust for life
I got a lust for life

Well I am just a modern guy
Of course I’ve had it in the ear before
‘Cause of a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He’s gonna do another striptease
Hey man where’d you get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
About something called love
Oh love love love
That’s like hypnotizing chickens
Well I am just a modern guy
Of course I’ve had it in the ear before
‘Cause of a lust for life
‘Cause of a lust for life
Got a lust for life
Yeah a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Oh a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Yeah a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Lust for life, lust for life
